How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 334

It was just a small favor, really. Barclay was bound to help.

"Thank you so much, Barclay. I was at my wit's end."

"Come on, Adelaide, don't mention it. We're practically family here."

A sinister smile spread across Adelaide's face, unseen by Barclay on the other end of the call. Had he seen it, it might have chilled him to the bone.

Barclay had always been decent to Adelaide. As long as it didn't involve Stuart and Morwenna, he was always willing to lend a hand.

After all, asking Fletcher to help out with a rescue wasn't a big deal, right?

After hanging up, Adelaide made a quick trip to the hospital.

While her mother was in the restroom, she swiftly administered a syringe of medication to the voiceless Jethro, then made a hasty retreat.

Adelaide returned to Hetfield's Homestead, her actions unnoticed.

Stuart was upstairs in the study, swamped with work. No CEO could truly afford to neglect their duties. If love meant abandoning all responsibility, the company would be doomed.

Adelaide sought out Morwenna in the library, who glanced at her and immediately thought, "Typical Adelaide, barely two hours gone and she's back as if nothing happened."

This woman had a talent for deception, and Morwenna wanted no part in it. She turned her back on Adelaide without a word.

Adelaide's expression darkened. "Morwenna, my brother's condition has worsened; it's critical. Fletcher has agreed to come have a look. I hope you'll join him. If surgery is needed, you should persuade Fletcher to operate. After all, my brother's injury was your fault; you ought to take responsibility."

Morwenna looked up from her book. "I'll get in touch with Fletcher about the surgery. And I hope you plan to repay Barclay."

Adelaide had taken ten million for medical expenses from Barclay. Though it wasn't Morwenna's money, she couldn't stand Adelaide's scheming.
